doctor, doctor, help me - park jongseong ₊˚⊹

summary: after a strange encounter with a shadowy figure one night, you're roped into an even stranger routine of being a handsome fighter's personal nurse - but after almost two months of it, you've grown tired, even if he hasn't ──── street fighter jay x nursing student reader || sfw, angst, tension || w/c; 2.6k (holy moly this is the longest fic I've written in a while)

a/n: ok this is like the third time I've written a fic using this like ' nursing student patches up' trope BUT I CAN'T HELP IT i literally eat it up every single time and when i was watching the bts of the no doubt mv the idea literally came to me right there so i hope y'all enjoy !! <333

"You can't be serious."

The scold falls from your lips less as a response and more of an unconscious reaction to the man standing in front of you. You don't know what's worse, the several bruises littering his face, the split lip that's dribbling blood down his chin - or the fact that this isn't even the worst state you've seen him in.

It's not like you have time to decide anyway, because as soon as he shoots you that look - the guilty yet almost pleading half-smile, you're too weak to refuse.

"Get in," you huff, opening your apartment door wider for him to slip in quickly, and you glance both ways in the hallway to make sure no one sees him before shutting it.

"You said the other night would be the last time Jay," you say, watching as he stumbles unsteadily towards your couch where he falls with a tired sigh.

"Well, that's what I thought babe," he laughs and you feel something twist inside you at the petname, "but it's not like this business is very reliable, is it?"

"Well," you sigh, mocking his tone, "that's why I thought you said you'd be finding another job, one that doesn't involve you coming to me half-beaten to death every other night."

Your words are harsh, especially given the amount of pain you're sure he's in right now but after almost two months of this same routine, you're tired of it. Plus, you know what he needs to hear at times like this.

It had started one night when you went out late to take out the trash, only to be startled by a shadowy figure lurking in the bushes. After he assured you he wasn't a thief, and giving you time to catch your breath he was about to dash off - but the first thing you noticed was the dark red trickling down the side of his cheek and the messy way his dark hair fell over his thick brows. The second thing you noticed was the look in his eyes, rough and a little cold, but the longer you looked the softer it became until it was something vulnerable, almost bordering on fear.

You'd be heartless not to take him in.

That's what you told yourself as you tried your best to convince him to follow you back up to your apartment - knowing full well the irony and complete stupidity of letting a beat-up man wander into your home. He obliged and soon you were setting him down and fetching the first aid kit you had gotten in a recent practical lesson. In the warm light of your living room, you were able to get a better look at him - his bruised knuckles, dark baggy clothing but most of all, the amused, almost cocky smirk spreading across his lips as he watched you tend to him.

You were firm though, treating this purely as your professional duty as a nursing student as you patched up his scuffs - though you weren't going to let this opportunity go without at least getting some answers. After some questioning, and dodging his attempts to pry into your personal life, you found out his name - Jay - and what exactly he had been doing lurking in the bushes near your complex. Though 'working in an underground boxing ring' was an answer that definitely needed more explanation than you had anticipated.

Admittedly, the entire situation was a little entertaining to you, at least for the first couple of times - after all, it wasn't every day a handsome boxer stumbled onto your doorstep and let you carefully tend to his wounds. But maybe he had overestimated your generosity because he was soon back a week later, the week after that and soon it became an almost nightly occurrence - though you taught yourself to never count on his appearances.

Your patience was running thin, but your ability to continually see Jay in so much pain was running even thinner, even if this came out more as a harsh irritation than the careful worry you intended it to be.

"There's a thousand jobs that don't involve risking your personal safety, you know," you sigh in exasperation, pulling up a chair beside the couch he's sprawled upon. In his dark grungey clothes and messed up look, he sticks out starkly from your fluffy pillows and stuffed animals in an almost endearing way.

"Well most of those jobs don't pay half as well as this does," he laughs, pulling himself up so you can look at his face and as he does you try not to think too much about how he's getting far too used to this routine. "And the others, well, they won't even consider hiring a drop-out like me."

You grab him by the jaw, yanking him closer which earns a soft chuckle from him even as you force yourself to look stern. "Have you even tried? I mean, money isn't everything, you know," you mumble, "I know the convenience store around the corner from here is hiring, you could look there."

"Right because I'm just the kind of guy for stocking shelves and heating up ramen for people," he scoffs coolly, eyes watching as you prepare cotton balls of antiseptic.

You let out a frustrated exhale, beginning your work on his injuries in concentrated silence. He only sits there, surprisingly obedient, as you dab his open cuts, not even wincing in pain. After all, this isn't the first time you've patched him up and you're pretty sure it won't be the last, so this strange routine the two of you have fallen into brings an even stranger sense of comfort. Despite that, and all your efforts at professionalism, it's difficult not to get just a little bit flustered whenever you have to touch his face, or when he makes snide flirty comments that you're sure he doesn't mean.

As if summoned by your thoughts, he pipes up again. "But then again, that would mean I'd be closer to you, princess," his voice barely above a teasing whisper.

You narrow your eyes at him, "If it means I get to see you in that cute little apron and not like this then sure." He lets out an amused chuckle, seemingly enjoying you playing into his conversation for once. You lean back to grab more gauze from your kit but the sound of his voice catches you off guard.

"Have you got a boyfriend?"

Despite knowing each other for a couple of months now, you and Jay actually know very little about each other - having made a silent agreement since that first night not to ask questions that were too personal. Anything that strayed beyond names, jobs and how the weather had been was off-limits. This had mostly been your way of avoiding getting too attached to him, or whatever sort of relationship you two had, since you were sure that would only end badly - and you had been glad that he respected your wishes.

Or at least he had.

"Wha-" you stutter, whipping your head back around to look at him "Why are you suddenly asking me that?"

"Well, I was just thinking, if you do, he mustn't be that happy about you getting so close with some random guy you barely know, right?" He's leaning back against the couch, eyes wandering your apartment seemingly for any sign of male presence.

"Unless," he says again, now leaning back towards you, so close you can feel his breath against your cheek as he whispers, "You haven't told him about us?" You hate how low and teasing his tone is, and whatever it is he's implying, but you hate the way you can feel your cheeks flushing under his gaze even more.

"Not that it's any of your business, but no, I don't have a boyfriend," you huff, "and it's not like there's an us for me to tell anyone about anyways unless I'm complaining about the cocky jerk that keeps bothering me every week."

"Aah, I'm surprised," he laughs to himself, brushing off your jab at him, "figured a cute thing like yourself would've been snatched up already, but I mean, I think I like being your little secret anyways, hm?"

"Just shut up and stay still."

"Yes doc," he says, amused at your reaction but doing as you say and soon the two of you fall into silence once more - you busy with placing bandaids over his face, neck and shoulders, and him watching you carefully. But the silence grows thick and heavy, and soon it's too much for even you to take.

"So," you start up, a little awkwardly, "how about you, have you got a girlfriend?"

You avoid his eye as you ask the question, already knowing exactly the kind of irritating expression he's donning.

"Oh, what happened to keeping out of each other's personal lives?" he scoffs.

"I'm just trying to make conversation, Jay," you sigh firmly.

"Well, not that it's any of your business," you bite your bottom lip as he mocks your previous response, "but no, I don't. Well, I used to, actually, she dumped me less than a week before I met you."

"Really?" you can't control the surprised tone that falls from your lips, but if you're being honest, with his looks, you're shocked he doesn't have a girlfriend - or at least several girls chasing after him.

"Yeah, well it's not easy to date a guy that comes home looking like this every other night," he laughs coolly but even as he does you can tell there's an undertone of hurt, "plus, she always wanted to go out at night and that was when I worked."

You nod slowly, "right." Your response is curt, partially because you're busy peeling a bandaid but mostly because you're not really sure of what else to say.

The conversation falls to a halt and silently you motion for him to come a little closer so that you can have a look at his split lip. It's pretty gnarly, even though you've managed to wipe up most of the blood that was coming out of it. Carefully, you run your thumb over the open wound as you inspect it but this earns a quiet hiss of pain from your patient and you pull back.

"Sorry," you mumble quickly, eyes scanning his face.

"It's alright angel," he sighs, nodding for you to continue.

You do as he says, working quickly to place a small bandaid over the lip, trying not to think too much about how you can feel his warm breaths on your gentle fingers. It doesn't help that his gaze doesn't leave you once, and every time your eyes flicker up they meet his causing your cheeks to grow embarrassingly hot.

But with that, you've finished patching up all of his injuries and can lean back with a relieved sigh as you brush your hands against each other. He sits back with a smile, watching as you pack up your kit and return it to the kitchen drawer you got it from.

"Hey, how was that exam you had?"

You pause - brows furrowing. You had mentioned that almost two weeks ago, and he remembered it?

"Oh, it went well, I'm surprised you remembered that."

"Why wouldn't I?" he says, and you'd think he was teasing you again until you poke your head around the corner and catch his earnest expression. "You told me, so I remembered."

"Well, yeah," you scoff, "but you were like half asleep and also in intense pain, I was just trying to talk to distract you from it."

He nods, his lip forming a thin line as he hangs his head with a soft laugh to himself, "Right, of course."

You feel a strange twist in your stomach, suddenly aware that maybe, for once, he wasn't trying to pry into your life for the sake of annoying you, but maybe trying to get to know you a little better. Still, the opportunity has left and now you continue your routine like always.

"So, you're all good?" you say, trailing back into the living room, "need any painkillers?" He shakes his head silently, slender fingers fiddling with the material on his pants as he bounces his knee almost impatiently.

Usually, this is the part where he leaves. Once you've served your purpose, done your job of fixing him up and exchanged small talk there's no reason for him to stick around anyway - it's not like the two of you are friends, or even know each other that well for that matter. At first, this fact seemed natural but the longer this weird relationship stretches on for, the more you find yourself dreading each of his departures. You're not sure why, since you scold him every time he reappears, but a small part of you feels a certain relief seeing him at your doorstep, even if he is struggling to hold himself up - because at least you get to see him again, even if just for one night.

"I should go, right?" he hums right on cue, looking up at you with a conflicted look - almost as if he's begging you to tell him otherwise.

"Well," you begin, chewing your bottom lip in thought, taking his silent plea to heart, "your injuries are pretty bad, so if you want you can rest here for a little longer." You rub the back of your neck in an attempt to make your request sound a little more casual than it actually is, but you should've known he'd catch on too fast.

"Are you asking me to stay the night?" He asks, the side of his mouth quirked up in an amused, but also touched, smirk.

"Don't make me change my mind, Jay," your sternness returns and he only holds his hands up in surrender as he nods with a soft laugh.

"Got it." He looks around, "is it alright if I just crash here then?"

You nod, "If you need anything just call out, alright? My room's just over there." You watch as he makes himself comfortable, stretching out across your couch which he barely fits on given his height. As he does you finally get a glimpse of the fatigue washing over him as he lays his head down on one of your fluffy pillows.

"Goodnight Jay," you call as you start making your way to your room, flicking off the living room light as you do.

"Goodnight doc," he replies in a lighthearted tone, and you pause at your doorway to get one last glance at him. He's already drifting off when you do, and despite your better judgement you can't help but smile to yourself at how peaceful he looks - a stark contrast to his usually cocky demeanour.

Maybe in another life, you two didn't meet the way you did. Maybe he had a job that didn't involve him putting his life on the line just to make a living, or you could help in a way other than just cleaning up his collateral damage, in a way that really mattered. Maybe you two could have real conversations about your days, without having to skip over the personal details. Maybe, just maybe, you might get to see him during the daytime, face illuminated by something other than your living room lamp and uninjured, for once.

But exhaustion quickly hits you too, forcing your thoughts to a stop. Settling into your own bed you couldn't help but pause to wonder if letting him stay the night was crossing the imaginary line you'd drawn since the first night, bridging the gap you'd sworn to keep between you and Jay. But as you feel yourself drifting off to sleep, the knowledge of him safe in the next room over enough to calm your mind, you find yourself strangely okay with that possibility.

— enhypen when you’re jealous because of their bite me performance !

idol enha! x gn!reader, fluff, established relationship au, no warnings :)

req. by fellow bengali anon, hope u like it !

n. oops i got so distracted with sunghoons

♫ you by lloyd

𖠗 이희승 | lee heeseung.

you were so so excited for this comeback, especially since heeseung kept everything a surprise for you

he said he wanted today to be the “grand reveal” so you complied with it, noticing how nervous he was getting, too

even though you’ve seen his previous comebacks

midway through your excited squeals due to the chorus, you notice the women making their way to the stage and a gasp leaves your lips

so this is why he kept it a secret, you thought.

even heeseung couldn’t perform his best knowing you were watching

he takes small steps when he walks towards you

“hi baby” he spits out nervously when he sees your expression and your hands placed beside your hips

before you get the chance to get a word out, his hands are making their way to cup your cheeks for a small kiss

followed by a few more kisses

and a few more

just kisses until you stop being mad

“you better be giving me kisses like this every day until you stop performing this song” you demand

“ofc my love :D” now why would he say no to that???!

even though he wants to tease you, he knows better

𖠗 박종성 | park jongseong.

you guys watched the mv together and initially you were so excited and complimented your boyfriend the whole way through

until

the women came in their red dresses & began their sensual dances

“oh haha you didn’t mention this”

jay didn’t really pay much attention to that

but then when you don’t say much for the rest of the video

he narrows it down

“my loveeee” he calls

“hmmm?”

“are you upset about the back up dancers?”

“ofc not lol”

he knows you’re lying anyway, he’s too in love with you to not notice

so jay being the best bf ever just pulls you into a tight embrace where he just reassures the heck out of you

“it’s just work, lovey. i didn’t even look at them when they were dancing and i’d much rather dance with you”

would never even think about teasing you, you’re his precious lovebug

𖠗 심재윤 | sim jaeyun.

would probably tease you

again, you’d watch the mv together and you’d be hyping him up when your face just drops

unlike the one with jay, you’d probably ve a bit more open about how you feel

smack

“OUCH??????” he yelps

“that’s what you get. why are you dancing so close to her???”

“babe that’s my job???” pause

“are you.. jealous?” he smirks.

“nuh uh” “yuh huh”

to this, you give him a dirty look and push him before running away into another room to avoid his jokes

jake would chase after you and just throw himself onto any part of your body until you can’t move

“you’re sooooo cute, angel!!!! i love you and you only! maybe if you learn how to dance, you can dance it with me instead!”

you just stare at him in annoyance while he giggles at how cute you are

dude would make jokes ab this just so he could smother you with love again

any excuse to hug and kiss you tbh

𖠗 박성훈 | park sunghoon.

i think similar to heeseung, he kept it a surprise

but unlike hee, hoon only kept it a surprise so he could annoy you and tease you rather than be scared for his life

he initially wanted to reveal it at the live performance so you could get a good view of it live

but he gives in and lets you watch the mv cos he’s a simp and can’t refuse when you say “please” with those cute eyes of yours

literally watches you in anticipation but you’re too busy staring at your pretty bf to even realise

but then.

you see another pretty person who doesn’t look like you ALL OVER YOUR BF??????

he’s literally smirking like he can’t even hide it

“waaahh you know these dancers are like so professional, i don’t know where hybe got them but they were so good”

he expects a big reaction from you but you’re just like

“oh really? that’s so cool.”

and then he just frowns

but he doesn’t give up

“yeah it’ll be fun when we perform live”

you whip your head to him so fast, “live?”

“yep,” his smirk reappears.

“teach me the dance,” you ask.

“sorry???” he sputters

“teach meeeeee! i wanna learn so we can dance together.”

he’s literally combusting at this point, but he stands his ground

“no, you’re always such a horrible dancer.”

you frown, “fine, i’ll go ask jake.”

it’s his turn to whip his head at you

“WAIT NO I WAS JUST JOKING”

who’s smirking now, hoon

𖠗 김선우 | kim sunoo.

wouldn’t intend to make you jealous, it just happens

realises kinda fast tbh

when you’re watching it together, he’s in the midst of explaining the day and the make up artists blah blah

when he realises you’ve stopped paying attention to his details and rather you’re focused on the woman dancing with your boyfriend on the screen

sweet boy just closes the laptop

“y/n” he smiles at you.

“why’d you turn it off? i was enjoying it!” you so painfully obviously lie

“who wants to watch that anyway when i can just reenact the full thing for you, minus all the extras”

sunoo discreetly makes you feel special with this special concert only for you, his beloved

would probably teach you so you can dance together

if you end up telling him that you’re jealous

he wouldn’t have any of it

just constant reassurance and frowns bc he doesn’t know why his literal perfect s/o has anything to worry about

his eyes are only for you!!

𖠗 양정원 | yang jungwon.

absolute cutie

he tells you the day he finds out about them dancing with him

don’t get me wrong, he’ll still find this amusing

but he’s too in love with you to actually let you be sad about this thing

“y/n, i have to dance with these women for the bite me performance”

you’re glad he told you but you still feel jealous when you see it

laughs but asks what he can do to help you feel better

“just hugs.”

to which he immediately embraces you

“and kisses.”

to which he’ll leave soft kisses on your face

tells you every day, “one day down, only _ days of this performance left!”

even though you both know it won’t be the end until his career ends

when he sees the edits of him and the back up dancer, he panics about you seeing them so makes sure to keep an eye on what you watch of him & even if you do see them, he’ll be quick to make up for it

reminds you all the time that he doesn’t even look twice at them or anyone

would do anything for you just say the word

𖠗 西村力 | nishimura riki.

is so excited for you to see him dancing a new choreo

probably brings you to a dance practise one day

and that’s where you see the full choreo

“did you like it??” he asks.

“it was.. interesting.”

he just looks at you, confused

probably leaves it but wonders what was wrong with it, especially since he liked it so much

o m g

has a lightbulb moment out of nowhere

you’ve probably just forgotten about it when he shouts, “I GOT IT”

you look at him with fright “got what???”

just hugs you instead while laughing his head off

“y/n, you know i love you right? like i literally omg i love you i cant even express sometimes”

*big sad he’s so cute*

blushing, heart pattering, smile from ear to ear

“yeah, i guess i like you, too?”

kisses ur cheeks bc wow you are adorable

[mirisss]

Enhypen reaction to their gf's solo debut

The New Kard part 2, part 1 can be found ~ here ~

Pairing: Enhypen OT7 x idol! (Y/n)

Wordcount ≈ 1.1k

Warnings: People sending some hate to (Y/n), a tiny bit of angst but mostly fluff

Summary: In a world where the Kard we know today doesn’t exist, a new Kard is created. “The new Kard” = (Y/n) - 02 liner dating Enhypen, Keeho (P1harmony), Ricky (ZB1), & Yunjin (Lesserafim). After The New Kard made their debut with Cake, the promotions for the song were over. However, (Y/n) still had much to do as she prepared for her solo debut. 

Authors note: Thank you for the request! I hope you enjoy it even if I couldn’t fulfill everything in your request. 

Request by 🍮 - anon

Please reblog! 

Third Person POV

The New Kard’s debut was quite a success. Everyone was talking about it. The MV received a lot of views and the rookie group even got a win on one of the music shows. Thousands of videos went viral of moments where the group hung out, performed, or joked around on variety shows. (Y/n) became particularly popular, netizens loving her stage presence and personality. Her group and her boyfriends were all so happy about their successful debut. 

Once promotions were over for Cake, the company booked a meeting with (Y/n), telling her that she would be making her solo debut after they saw how popular she was. (Y/n) was incredibly happy, she decided that it should come as a surprise for everyone, they wouldn’t find out until the info was posted. (Y/n)’s groupmates Keeho, Yunjin, and Ricky were all busy working as MCs or acting in a drama. Enhypen was busy preparing and then promoting their newest album, Dark Blood with the title track Bite Me. 

(Y/n) was working hard and tried her best to hide the fact that she was preparing for her solo debut. Her title track was just her style, she loved it. The styling was top-tier, the MV shooting had been a lot of fun, and she truly hoped the song would be a hit. Her friends and boyfriends were so busy with their own work that they missed the post announcing that (Y/n) would be debuting as a soloist in 3 weeks. Her debut album became one of the most-bought debut albums of all time. The fans seemed super excited for (Y/n). 

The day of her debut was finally here, (Y/n)’s MV was just posted, and thousands of views rolled in within seconds. It wasn’t until that day when the MV was released, that Enhypen found out that their girlfriend was debuting as a soloist, or well she now was a soloist as well. They watched the MV, mesmerized by her dance moves and her beautiful voice. The second it was over they called (Y/n), who answered, expecting them to have found out by now. “(Y/n)! You’re a soloist now!?! Why didn’t you tell us?” Jake along with Sunoo exclaimed loudly. “Surprise!” (Y/n) chuckled, nervous to hear their opinions. “Can you come over or should we come to you?” Heesung asked, wanting to congratulate her in person and not just over the phone. “Uh, hold on,” They heard a low mumble in the background, probably (Y/n) asking her manager when she could meet with her boyfriends. “I can head over to your place in 2 hours,” “See you then, miss you, love you” Sunghoon began saying goodbye, and as he came to the last part all the boys joined in. 

2 hours later, (Y/n) was knocking on Enhypen’s door. Jungwon opened the door, a silly smile on his face as he basically threw himself on the girl, hugging her tightly. “(Y/n)!” Jay shouted happily from the living room. Jungwon released her from his hug after a minute, allowing her to step inside and close the door, they walked over to the living room. The other six boys stood there, with a cake and a banner that read “Congratulations honey,” Which they all also said once (Y/n) had noticed the banner behind them. “Thank you,” Everyone was smiling as love-sick teenagers as they sat down together, eating some of the cake and talking about everything. The boys told (Y/n) about everything they loved about the song, the MV, and the dance. 

A little later, (Y/n) opened up her Instagram, checking some of the comments people were posting under her latest post, the one with the announcement of the MV’s release. Many comments complimented her and congratulated her for her fast solo debut. However, her happy feelings and smile soon disappeared as she found hundreds of people writing their dismay and dislike of the song and the choreography, saying that (Y/n) should have done better. Her heart fell as she found people writing that they regretted buying her album. Niki noticed the way (Y/n)’s smile disappeared, he scooted closer to her, throwing an arm around her shoulders to comfort her. He glanced down at her phone, finding her reading comments. “Hey, what’s wrong?” The others noticed the scene once they heard the maknae’s voice. 

“People are disappointed, I should have done better,” “Oh darling, no, you were amazing, they’re just being haters for the hell of it,” Jay said, also coming over to comfort (Y/n). “They hate the song and/or the choreo, saying it’s not my style and it was just a waste of money for the company,” “Do you like the song?” Jungwon asked, “Of course, I love it,” “Do you like the choreo?” He then asked, “Yes, it’s something I’ve dreamt of doing,” “That’s all that matters then. It wasn’t a waste of money or a disappointment if you love it, then it was a success,” “Wonnie,” “Hey, look, we’re so proud of you, your members are so proud too! And real fans will love it too!” Sunoo said, giving (Y/n) a bright smile, his eyes crinkling up along with it, something (Y/n) loved about Sunoo, his true smile was cute and sweet. 

“Please teach me the dance? I want to be prepared for the dance challenges for tiktok,” Niki said, Sunghoon and Jake immediately stood up to learn the dance too. No matter what happens, as long as (Y/n) has Enhypen, she will continue to smile and be strong. Within seconds of standing up and trying to teach the boys her choreo, she was smiling and laughing. Completely forgetting about the hate she had received.

XOXO — k.sn

kim sunoo x male reader fluff (???) 3.1k words

Anonymous love letters land in your mailbox, signed “XOXO.” Determined to discover the author, you search for clues in every letter but you only find dead ends. After some red herrings and an erased memory, the real culprit was hidden in plain sight all along.

includes: you’re kinda dumb here n sunoo’s kinda uhh… creepy? he has superpowers? VERY VERY LOOSELY inspired by the xo mv warning: n/a?

Like a sunflower in meadows of green and gold, I always turn to you, my admiration yet untold.

XOXO

That’s what the scented paper in the navy blue envelope said in neat handwriting. It sat atop your mailbox, along with a small bouquet of sunflowers. The gift and the mysterious message thrilled you, but you have no idea where it came from. Perhaps it was a case of mistaken delivery?

Unable to contain the excitement, you dial Sunoo right away, knowing he’ll be as intrigued as you about romantic things like this. 

“Guess what, Sunoo?” you exclaim, a mischievous lilt in your voice. “I got a love letter! And sunflowers—your favorites!”

Sunoo’s loud gasp crackles through your speakers. “Ooh? What does it say? Who sent it?”

“Hold on, let me read it to you,” you say, dramatically clearing your throat and reading the letter aloud to him. “It’s got no name on it though,” you trail off. 

Sunoo hums in thought. “Sunflowers… Jay?” he suggests.

“The florist?” you echo, raising an eyebrow. “Just because of the flowers?” you ask, doubtful of the logical leaps.

“Well,” Sunoo muses, “if the bouquet didn’t come from him, then chances are the mystery person bought it from him…”

Taking Sunoo’s advice, you head to the local flower shop the next day. Tucked away on a small side road, it’s a quaint place nestled between dull low-rise apartments. The doorbell softly chimes as you come in, a wave of floral scents welcoming you. Sunlight spills through the windows, casting a warm glow on the polished wood floors. Behind the counter is the familiar florist, humming contentedly as he meticulously arranges a bouquet as usual. 

“Good afternoon,” Jay greets without glancing your way. “Need anything? New flowers in season.”

You cut to the chase. “I got a bouquet of sunflowers yesterday and it made me think of you.”

Jay looks up smiling warmly, although he seems to be quite confused. “Someone gave you sunflowers? Well, they’re beautiful and they’re in season.”

You nod. “With a love letter and everything.” 

You watch his reaction closely, hoping for a hint of recognition. Jay’s eyes widen, then he chuckles softly. “Sounds… romantic,” he comments, pausing. “Who’s the lucky guy?”

You shake your head. “No idea,” you admit. “The flowers had me thinking they got it from you.”

Jay tilts his head, thinking of his most recent clients. “Sunoo got one. Then I think Heeseung?”

“Heeseung?” you ask, curious how the rugged leather-clad motorbike enthusiast found a reason to visit such a flower shop.

“Said he’s getting ‘em to cheer someone up,” Jay adds. “Maybe it’s him?”

You laugh. “I don’t think he swings my way. If it’s Sunoo or Heeseung, then this person probably bought it elsewhere.”

“I hope you find out soon,” he butts in. “Or maybe not. Then I’ll make you a better bouquet. No secret messages though, just a delicate arrangement of flowers from your favorite florist.”

As you come home to the sunset, you sit at your kitchen table, eyes drawn to the sunflowers that you’ve potted by the windowsill. Their bright yellow petals seemed to glow against the fading daylight. You send Sunoo a message, updating him about what you found out from Jay, but he doesn’t reply.

You then read through the letter again, your finger tracing the ink as if it would help you recognize the handwriting any better. It felt vaguely familiar, with lines and curves you’ve seen elsewhere, but you can’t pin its author.

— 

A few days later, another navy blue envelope greets you, this time with a pair of leather gloves. The letter reads:

Under the starry night let's ride, Where our hearts could race side by side.

XOXO

A single name immediately flashes through your mind: Heeseung. You suddenly recall your shared adventures of racing through empty streets on your motorcycles late at night. It has been a few years since he introduced you to the rush of it all. But his mixed reputation has always drawn him as a ladies’ man, it was a very long shot that Heeseung is the suspect you’ve been looking for.

The sun is setting as you pull up to his garage later in the afternoon. He’s hunched over his bike, recklessly tinkering with it. His trademark leather jacket is absent and lousily hanging on a nearby hook, leaving him in a tight white shirt covered in grime. The sharp smell of grease and gasoline is a stark contrast to Jay’s flower shop, yet Heeseung looked surprisingly clean. Heeseung looks up as you approach, his eyes lighting up in recognition.

“Ayo!” he greets, wiping his hands on his shirt. “Long time no see.  Out tonight?”

“Nah. Just missed you,” you smirk.

“Hm?” Heeseung raises an eyebrow, suspicious of you. “Some shit’s up. My gut says so.”

You hold your hands up. “Got new gloves from a secret admirer,” you proudly announce, showing them off. You study his expression as you did with Jay the previous day, scanning for any hints of shock.

“Attaboy!” he exclaims, leaning on his workbench. “I wish my girl would surprise me like that for a change,” he huffs.

You pause. “Girl?” you ask, not that surprised to finally confirm that it isn’t Heeseung.

“Yeah, been seeing this girl for a while,” he explains. “Been giving her all she wants—flowers, dates, whatever. Not my style, but I kinda wanna make this one last. Settle down, y’know?”

“Good for you, you’ve got a girl. I don’t even know who’s sending me these love letters,” you lament. You proceed to recount the past few days to Heeseung: the envelopes on your mailbox, the poetic messages inside, and the oddly familiar gifts. He listens with a mix of genuine amusement and secondhand embarrassment.

“Poems and gifts!?” he reacts, stunned. “That’s a hopeless romantic, man. Someone real young.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Like who?”

Heeseung grins. “Ni-ki?”

You laugh. “Ni-ki? That kid’s barely out his diapers!”

He shrugs. “You never know. Kids these days grow up too fast.”

You leave Heeseung’s garage still puzzled on who the secret admirer is. Before leaving, you promise to race him again soon, by then with your significant others as passengers. Now you lie in bed, one hand wearing the leather glove, playing with your fist as you continue to wonder who could be behind this stunt.

The mystery weighs on your mind, and you decide it’s time to update Sunoo. Picking up your phone, you dial his number and listen to the familiar ring.

“Hey!” Sunoo answers cheerily after the third ring. “What’s up?”

“It’s not Jay and it’s not Heeseung,” you begin, voice tinged with frustration. “Now, Heeseung’s pointing to Ni-ki.”

Sunoo hums. “What if this person’s totally unrelated to the notes… Like they’re intentionally misleading you?”

You pause in thought.

—

A week passes by and a third letter arrives, with two paper rings delicately interlinked together in a chain. It says:

Slow your pace, no need to chase, Soon enough you'll meet my familiar face.

XOXO

The message is quite clear: this is someone who is close to you. As you stand there outside, staring at the letter, you hear a voice call out your name. You turn to see Jake, your neighbor, holding a slice of bread and a copy of the daily newspaper.

“Another love letter?” he asks with a playful grin.

Your heart pounds. “How’d you know?”

“It was obvious from the flowers,” he yawns, stretching lazily. “Who’s it from?”

You hand the envelope to him, and he reads it over, chuckling. “No name, huh? Kinda creepy, not gonna lie.”

“It’s cute and wholesome,” you argue, a blush creeping up your cheeks. “Any idea who it might be?”

Jake’s smile widens. “I’m an early riser, you know… Might’ve spotted someone familiar delivering these.” He takes a bite of his bread and mumbles, “But it wouldn’t be fair for me to expose them right now. They’ll reveal themselves in their own time.”

“Come on, Jake,” you plead, “just a hint?”

He shakes his head, eyes twinkling with mischief. “Nope.”

You sigh. “I’m gonna assume it’s you,” you tease him, poking his arm.

“If it’s gonna be me, I’d go straight to the real expensive rings,” he laughs. “I can tell you this much: they’re always carrying around this mask. And their hair is…” 

“Their hair is what?”

Jake pauses dramatically as he finishes his bread, brushing the crumbs off his pajamas. “I’ll tell you about it if you get another letter.” 

With that, Jake waves you goodbye and heads back to his home, leaving you with more questions than answers. As you stand on your porch, processing Jake’s hint, your phone buzzes in your pocket. You pull it out and see Sunghoon’s name flashing on the screen.

“Hey, Sunghoon,” you answer.

His calm and collected voice greets you. “Could you meet me at the train station tomorrow?”

Your eyebrows shoot up in surprise. “Why? What’s going on?”

“Just come,” he repeats, tone firm. “I have something to tell you.”

He abruptly ends the call before you could even respond, leaving you staring at your phone in bewilderment. He simply texts you a meeting place and time, and a brief apology for hanging up so quickly. You send Sunoo a text about the odd event, only to be stunned by him calling you almost immediately. 

“Don’t go,” he says, uncharacteristically serious.

“Why not?” you ask, puzzled.

“I just… have a bad feeling about it. Don’t you think it’s suspicious? Like a drug deal or something.”

“Another envelope came in today. Then Sunghoon says he’s got something to tell me. What if it’s him?”

“You should stop trying to find out who it is,” Sunoo grumbles. “It’s really dumb.”

“Weren’t you so interested at first?” you protest. “Why the sudden change of heart?”

There’s a long pause on the other end of the line before he speaks again. “I just don’t want you to get hurt. Please don’t go. Trust me on this.”

With your curiosity fueled by Sunoo’s sudden apprehension, you decide to ignore his warning and head to the train station the next day.

—

The sky is heavy with gray clouds, and the nightwind is unusually cold. You realize it was a poor choice for you to walk outside with no umbrella. Some blocks away from the station, the first drops of rain begin to fall, quickly turning into a cloudburst. You curse under your breath, seeking refuge under the awning of a convenience store. 

The rain roughly hits the concrete pavement, the chill seeping through your clothes. You begin to consider cancelling your meeting with Sunghoon, watching the bustling city slowly devolve into a muted gloom.

Just then, you see Jungwon approaching, an umbrella in hand. He spots you and rushes over, pace quickening to avoid getting too wet himself.

“Hey! Waiting for the rain to pass?”

“Yep, forgot my umbrella,” you sigh. “Where’re you going?”

“To the station, seeing my parents back home.”

“I’m going there too,” you reply, glancing at Jungwon’s umbrella that could definitely fit two people.

“Wanna share this with me?” he says with a kind smile, waggling his umbrella.

“Thank you, Jungwon,” you smile.

Grateful for his thoughtfulness, you ask him to come with you inside the store, buying popsicles for the both of you.

“Popsicles in the cold,” Jungwon laughs. “Makes sense.”

“Didn’t your parents tell you that you beat cold with cold?” you reply, making him laugh louder.

You huddle under his umbrella, making small talk as you walk together. The rain remains strong, but Jungwon’s presence brings some comfortable warmth.

As you reach the train station, you thank Jungwon again. He hesitates, looking as if he has something important to say. Despite the downpour outside, the station is busy, with people catching the last trains, announcements of delayed departures and chatter filling the air.

“Actually, there’s something I wanted to tell you,” he starts, cheeks slightly blushing. “I’ve been meaning to—”

Before he can finish, Sunghoon’s presence interrupts him. “You came,” he gently calls out, eyes shifting between you and Jungwon.

Jungwon’s expression shifts to a sour one, but he maintains a polite smile. “I’ll tell you next time,” he says quietly to you, handing you his umbrella before walking away. “I’ll see you around. You too, Sunghoon.”

Jungwon promptly leaves, guilt gnawing at your gut for some reason. You shout after him, “Your umbrella!” but he’s already gone. Turning to Sunghoon, you find him staring straight at you.

“So, what did you wanna talk about?” you ask, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts of Jungwon.

“I thought you’d cancel. It’s raining hard,” Sunghoon says, concerned. He takes a handkerchief from his pocket and offers it to you. “Wipe yourself off, you might catch a cold.”

As you wipe off some droplets of rain on your arm, you repeat, “Tell me why you wanted me to come here.”

Sunghoon takes a deep breath. “I’m moving away tonight,” he begins in his earnest voice. “And before I leave, I want to tell you that… I like you.”

You blink once. Suddenly, your vision dissolves into a hazy blur. Sunghoon seems to be saying something but you only hear incoherent noise. Then all you see is pitch black.

—

Today the third letter lands in your mailbox, along with an eccentric kitsune mask. It says:

My immature guise holds a power sublime, A single blink could alter our destined time.

XOXO

This one perplexes you, a poem you cannot comprehend and a gift you cannot link to anyone you know. Could the sender just be an insane stalker? As you stand there outside, staring at the letter, you hear a voice call out your name. You turn to see Jake, your neighbor, holding a slice of bread and a copy of the daily newspaper.

“Another love letter?”

“How’d you know?”

“The bouquet,” he yawns. “Who’s it?”

You hand the envelope to him, and he reads it over, grumbling. “That’s too much for my morning brain.”

“Any idea who it might be?” you ask.

Jake’s smile widens. “I’m an early riser, you know… Might’ve spotted someone familiar delivering these.” He takes a bite of his bread and mumbles, “But it wouldn’t be fair for me to expose them right now.”

“Come on, Jake,” you plead, “just a hint?”

Jake pauses. “I can tell you this much: they’re always carrying around this mask. And their hair is blonde.” 

“As in this mask?” you ask, raising the mask that came along with today’s love letter.

“Yep,” he nods. “I think that’s more than enough for you to guess correctly.”

Jake waves you goodbye and shuts his door on you. As you stand on your porch, processing his hint to the list of people you know, you hear another voice calling for you. It’s Ni-ki, the kid Heeseung told you about.

You turn to see Ni-ki, looking serious as he steps out of his car.

“Let’s go to Sunoo’s right now,” he says in a commanding tone.

“Why? What’s going on?” you reply, confused with what Ni-ki was trying to do.

“He’s been acting strange lately,” he says. “I think he’s hiding something.”

He grabs your hand to pull you away, noticing the mask you are holding.

“Holy shit!” he exclaims. “That’s exactly the one he was wearing. I knew Sunoo got into a cult—”

“What cult?”

“Hurry up!” Ni-ki tugs at your hand, leading you back to his car.

As Ni-ki pulls away, he glances at you with worried eyes. “I just wanted to surprise him with a visit. But he was going out, and he was wearing that mask.”

You carefully inspect the mask. “What do you think this means?”

Ni-ki sighs, grip tightening on the steering wheel. “I shouldn’t have followed him. He went to your place so early in the morning then left something. Then he did it again. And again.”

The realization hits you like a ton of bricks. Sunoo was behind the love letters. You feel shocked, confused, and relieved all at the same time.

You arrive at Sunoo’s house and catch him sneaking back, hooded, holding a kitsune mask that is perfectly identical to yours. Your heart races as the pieces finally fall into place. You rush out of Ni-ki’s car, ignoring his pleas. “What if he casts some curse on you?” he hisses quietly.

“Sunoo!” you shout.

He turns, visibly startled before he musters up a fake smile. “Hey, it’s so early! What brings you to my humble abode?” he awkwardly greets you.

You hold up the latest letter and the mask. “We need to talk.”

Sunoo’s smile falters, spotting Ni-ki’s car behind you. “Ni-ki brought you here?”

“Don’t change the topic,” you grunt, pulling Sunoo inside his home.

The tension in Sunoo’s living room is palpable. Sunoo’s eyes are fixed on his carpet, feet shifting left and right like a child who’s about to be reprimanded.

“Sunoo,” you begin, “I need you to be honest with me. Are you the one who’s been sending me the letters?”

He hesitates for a moment, then nods slowly. “Yes, it’s been me all along.”

You press a finger to your temple and breathe deeply. “Are you making fun of me, Sunoo? Did my enthusiasm satisfy you—”

“It’s not a joke!” Sunoo cuts you off. He meets your eyes, vulnerable. “I didn’t know how to confess, so I came up with all of this. I got a lot more letters prepared but things just went awry.”

You place your mask on his coffee table and pull him into a tight embrace. “You didn’t have to be scared. I’m open to receiving a lot more letters, Sunoo.”

Sunoo chuckles, a bit sheepish. “Although I do admit I enjoyed watching you figure out who I was through our friends.”

You shake your head, smiling. “You really are something else.” You step back, looking at the matching masks that you and Sunoo now have. 

“So the sunflowers were because they’re your favorites?” you ask. He nods, a warm grin spreading across his face like the bright petals of a sunflower.

“And the gloves because…?”

“I wanna go on rides with you,” he replies. You nod, imagining Sunoo hugging you from behind as you drive through the city under the night sky.

“And the mask…?”

“That’s a long story,” he replies, voice dropping to a low, enigmatic tone. “You want more letters, right?”

You smile. “I will gladly be your audience. Show me.” 

He grabs his mask and slowly puts it on. “I think you should blink first.”

You blink, and immediately your head rings. Your vision blurs, and then everything goes black.

[bothoutsiders]

I don't know if you're still looking for prompts for short things to write but I was thinking maybe something loosely based on this song Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter? The MV has her meeting a guy at jail, which seems very Jason-coded. But idk 😅😅

The night had been completely wonderful. The weather was nice, the food was good, there was a lot of laughter and -- what was best: nothing was illegal. What had started as an awkward, quiet night, with some tension, had changed into something funny, relaxing and happy. It felt like it was a real night out with friends.

"Where do you want to go ne…?" Jason frowned, seeing how Bart took a couple of french fries to dip them in Tim's milkshake. "What the fuck?"

Tim laughed. Jason's reaction was not only adorable, but he was happy that the last words were only a whisper. He had been behaving all night in front of his friends, and it was making him proud.

When their relationship started, everyone had been pissed, worried and even anxious. Kon would be defensive all the time, paranoid that Jason might have forced Tim to commit crime with him. Bart would not be able to stop making the most uncomfortable questions. And Cassie? Cassie was the only one acting normal from the beginning, but he could feel it whenever she would look at Jason. She was judging their relationship. She was judging him.

"Movies! We were going to the movies." Kon reminded them, a hand hovering over his last fries, not wanting Bart to steal them.

"Yeah, we said we would go to the movies too." Tim smiled at Jason, looking up at his boyfriend, while the other male only winked at him with a smirk on his face.

There was a funny feeling in Tim's chest in that instant.

"I'll bring the car."

"I'll go with you," Tim said as soon as Jason stood up, leaving his milkshake to Bart, who grinned and tried to steal Cassie's fries now.

It felt like he couldn't just live without him. He was addicted to Jason-- and maybe this could actually work. Jason could leave his crime life behind. Or at least Tim thought that as Jason's warm hand held his gently.

"Are you having fun?" Jason asked, guiding the other to the car.

"Yes, bowling was fun, and this is the first time I've come to this diner. Very retro, I like it."

"I'm glad to hear that," Jason said before he turned around and picked Tim up, placing him on the trunk of his car. "We wouldn't want a bad time for the prince."

Tim was about to say something, but Jason leaned in for a passionate kiss. It was sudden, and desperate. It felt as if Jason had been holding on as best as he could during the night, and right now was his only chance to satiate his need of him.

Naturally, Tim couldn't help but to go along with it. He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's strong shoulders, and a tiny moan escaped his lips when Jason pressed against him, nesting between his legs, his big hands holding him by the hips.

Just when his body was feeling hot and needy, their moment was interrupted by a small but violent thump. Tim pulled away and when he tried to look around, Jason kissed him again, this time a hand cupping his face, not letting him escape.

"Ja--" another kiss, and another thud. Now Tim was sure it was coming from under him. Breaking the kiss, he immediately pushed Jason away and jumped off the trunk. "Jason, you mother f-- open this now."

Jason tilted his head back and sighed heavily before moving to open the trunk. Resting a hand on the trunk lid, he kept his eyes on Tim only.

Inside the trunk, there was a young man, tied up from arms and legs, and tape on his mouth. If Tim squinted a bit, he could see a swollen eye and a bloody cheek. It took him a few moments to recognize his face.

"What is the guy from bowling doing here?"

"He was being a dick to you." He said, sitting down on the edge of the trunk. "I don't like bullies."

"That's not enough reason to beat and kidnap someone, Jay."

"Perfect night for my babe."

"Jason, you promised you would behave tonight--"

"Guys! Are we leaving anytime soon?" Bart's voice wasn't that far and without thinking, Tim closed the lid of the trunk. Hard. "We are not going to be there in time for the commercials."

They probably had taken too long because now everyone was walking toward the car.

"Oh yeah, and you love those, don't you, Timmy?" Jason asked with a playful tone before kissing his cheek and going to open the door of the car for Tim. "Let's enjoy the night, darling."

"Please, please, please." Tim whispered as he got inside the car, but Jason only smiled big at him.

i admit it made me nervous to have an ask coming from you, but thank you so much for taking some time to send something. i watched the video a couple of times, and i had the song on repeat while writing this because it's actually a pretty good song, hehe. thanks again and i hope the story is of your liking!

[ENG] JAY B 'Crash' MV Reaction

[enha-doodles]

ENHYPEN REACTION FINALLY COMING UP TOMORROW 🕺🏻🕺🏻

Also I'm so sorry to the person who requested that yandere!Jay and yandere! reader fic based on that mv , ik it's been a long time but it's stuck halfway I swear I'm trying to finish it up 😭😭😭😭

[bonefall]

two questions:

1. do you have a masterpost of bb? more specifically, do you have a timeline masterpost? i can't remember if i've read it or not

2. was explaining your sol possession thing to a friend who is also into warriors @alphabetbill. she was curious about the whole possession thing in general, specifically with bramble in whatever arc he gets possessed in (i haven't read it so i haven't read your posts on bb for that yet)

anyway love reading ur posts in general, haven't stopped thinking about them for like a month. rereading warriors and doing my own rewrite now bc man, this got me hella excited

My inability to create a proper masterpost is legendary. ADHD culture is saying, "Today I will do X" and then doing both Y and Z as X never happens.

But I DO have THIS, the Better Bones History Lesson. It's a great overview of everything so far! I plan to eventually compile all the little details of each, but start there.

On Possession

The rule of possession is that it's VERY hard to do if you don't let them into your heart. Any ghost can do it in less than one lesson, but they need to be channeled first. It would be possible, for example, for Mapleshade to possess someone... but not until she got someone to channel her.

Ashfur couldn't have done what he did if he didn't have help, and if he didn't know to strike when Bramblestar was already out of his body. Bramble is currently the only example of an unwilling possession.

(and btw this happens in what I call the Reckoning Era, which is TBC. I give time periods a unique name, like for example, the Campaign Era is the time after MV but before Brokenstar's reign)

Other times that cats have been possessed, all of these willingly;

Jay's Wing, Half Moon, and Lion's Roar to channel their gods to oppose Holly Leaves

Fallenleaf, with Sol, back as Hollyleaf and Holly Leaves.

Firestar and Brokenstar, when they were rebuilding SkyClan

Rootspring when he was imprisoned, Hawkfrost used his body to pummel Darkstripe

Applefur, Ratscar, and Redwillow were probably possessed by Dark Forest cats when they were lording over ShadowClan in OotS, after the death of Russetfur, to make them stronger.

When you're possessed, your extra spirit acts like something sharing your body. You are able to fight against it just as much as it can fight against you. Fallenleaf traps Sol within herself, but still has to be careful to not let it take over.

Meanwhile, if Ratscar and Shredtail were possession-buddies in ShadowClan for that time in OotS, they would be fighting with more synchronicity. Like the strength of Shredtail is amplifying Ratscar's blows and reaction time.

[dumbest-smartass]

How TXT and Enhypen often feel like the two sides of a same coin (in my very modest opinion)

I just have a lot of thoughts in my head so I will ramble here (warning : english is not my first language, so there will most probably be misspelled words and confusing wording) :

• Their vibes : cat coded and dog coded

I'm not sure how to explain it, but to me TXT are such a cat coded group while Enhypen are such a dog coded group

- I mean yeah, okay, Tubatu has Kai the golden retriver and Gyu the maltese. BUT they also give me such strong orange cat vibes. Very playful, a little mischievous, ready to run away anytime before coming back to get food and scratches.

- And yeah Enha has Jay and especialy Jungwon, the kittiest person ever. BUT as a group they are also such dog people ? (I do realized the irony giving the BTHB MV but it's also giving "big guard dogs chasing the smart cat" imo). Also I guess I'm biased by the fact that the members show off their dogs so often.

• Their cuteness : obvious and """hidden"""

The amount of cute agression both groups trigger in me is astonishing, but is quite different ways :

- I feel like tubatu "show off" their cuteness more ? (Not the perfect word but you get the idea). I just feel like they broadcast it more often at least.

- But enha, they try their best to look cool and confident (and they do), but there is nothing cuter than a cool looking guy trying (and failing) to hide his cute side. When the confidence mask breaks and then they're all eyes smile and giggles and bread cheeks and- ugh. ADORABLE.

Actually, I think this is linked to my next point :

• Their image : bestie and boyfie

Like any boygroups, they have their part of romantic fanservice to do. However, I feel like the impacts are a little different, most probably because of their respective lore.

- In my opinion, despite the romantic tone of many of their songs, Tubatu's lore is more about growing up, and the complications and challenges that come. It's mostly centered around them and their emotions/reactions than anything, so the fans are supposed to relate to it. Outside of the MVs, during concerts, fanmet, etc., I just don't feel like they do that much fanservice ? (Taehyun on weverse being the exception lol). I guess this has a lot to do with what the fans ask from them too, but from what I see I feel like they keep this friendly vibe on top of everything. (Also their passion for pokémon. Very bestie thing to share. Love it.).

- On the other end, Enha's lore revolves around their relationship with their love interest (Sooha, Chloé, the cat, Engene...). The whole "bf vibe" is an important part of their promotion, especially in the most recent XO era. And of course there is all the fanservice that come with it (isn't it, Mr. EVAN LEE ? 🤨). Once again, the fans' reaction to it, especially during fanmeting, only fuels this impression I guess (their fanbase has quite the reputation for being delulu, after all...).

I don't really know how to end this post, so anyway have a nice day if you read it until the end !

Build Up, Ep 5 Recap: The Neglected Performances

Welcome back to the one of the top twenty best Build Up recaps out there! In the previous one, we saw an adoring junior take on his senior. In this one, we’ll talk about the four performances that MNET saw fit to skip almost completely. 

So yeah, MNET saw fit to just unceremoniously fly through a total of four performances in less time than they spent on most of the other single performances. I’m so mad I feel like I could spontaneously combust. Where is Junyheok and Yeo One’s fire extinguisher? 

MNET spent about a minute per round (ie, less than 30 seconds on each performance) but I’ll go through a little more carefully. 

First up is Hyukjin and Jeong Inseong versus Lee Minwook and Jang Intae.

I’ll remind you who everyone is as we go along, since MNET hates all eight of these guys for no reason.

Hyukjin is from an unfortunately VERY nugu group called Fave1. He was in the Power group, V22, the one who sang that heavy metal sounding song. I mean, he frickin’ went for it, I’ll give him that. He wore that red suit on the first day. He performed in the Kajima Kajima (Don’t Go) group, and was made Low Tier just because everyone else did a bit better, not because he did badly. He seems to have lightened his hair a little bit since the Pre-4 round.  

Jeong Inseong is from a group called KNK. He was a V6, in the Allround section, and I remember really liking that first performance (my notes just read, “ooh, I like!”). He was in Breath, and along with Hwanhee, was sort of a go-to backstage reaction king during the whole Pre-4 mission. We didn’t hear what the judges thought of his performance one where or the other, but I thought he had a smooth, rich voice. 

They’ve decided to sing a song called Still Love You, originally performed by Lee Hongki and Yoo Hweseung. If you watched either You’re Beautiful (the Hong sisters k-drama) or Produce48, you’re familiar with Lee Hongki; he was Jeremy in You’re Beautiful and he was the cool, Japanese-speaking vocal coach in Produce48. But of course, you might know him as a member of FT Island. Hweseung was on PD101 Season 2. Now he is the main vocalist of N Flying, and I think he has a glorious voice. So yeah, I like both these guys.

The song itself isn’t my thing, but that’s fine, it doesn’t have to be. The lyrics are just typical K-ballad material -- “I love you and I’ll miss you and I will never forget you but I nobly hope you’ll be happy” blah blah. You know the drill. 

Full version here.

My thoughts:

Overall, I actually like their version better than the original. I’m not a huge fan of the song itself, but I like the way they sing it. 

Hyukjin is the weaker of the two vocalists, which is a bummer because I root for anyone who gets less than 10,000 views on his MVs. He still has a very nice voice. He just has a bit of sharp nasality occasionally that kind of spoils his tone. He also could slightly improve his agility. His straining high notes at the end were not… great. On the positive side, he has a really nice natural vocal color when he’s not straining, and he has excellent pitch and breath control, allowing him to hold -- and control -- long powerful notes, as long as he doesn’t push the high pitch too hard. I wish he’d sing more in his lower register, because that’s what I think sounds best. 

I really like Inseong’s voice. It doesn’t quite give me the tingles like Jay’s voice, or Neon’s, or Euibin’s, but it’s so nice. It’s just so rich and nice to listen to. He varies his dynamics, singing softly and cleanly sometimes, and loud and powerfully other times. He uses just the right amount of vibrato for my taste. I just think he’s a great singer. 

Their harmonies sounded really pretty; you can hear both of them, so they’re blending just right. 

Ok, so let’s see what we see on the show. 

The editors made sure to include Hyukjin’s not-too-great high notes. Sigh. They get an 87 from Wendy and a 65 from Jaehwan! Way harsh, Tai!

VCG says, “You should have made the best use of your weapons, but since you used it too often, it didn’t seem like a special move.” I assume he’s addressing Hyukjin, and I think I get what he means. Hyukjin kept the emotional level at 11 the whole time, and didn’t really vary up his dynamics. I think that’s kind of how the original version of the song goes, as well, but maybe they could have adapted it a little more. 

Poor Inseong. He sang so beautifully. Even if that one high note of Hyukjin’s wasn’t great, poor Inseong got dragged down with him. 

Next up is Minwook and Intae. 

Lee Minwook is from a group called Newkidd. He was in the Soul group, V9, and you guys, that little performance has been living in my playlist ever since. He wore a bunch of vests, including that bright blue vest that sort of gave gym-class jersey vibes. I really like his voice, but I guess the other guys didn’t because he was tied for 33rd in the vocal check in. He ended up in Something Like That, where the judges praised him effusively and he was chosen as Top Tier. 

Jang Intae is from the Allround group, V31, and is one of the mysteries of the show. I don’t even know his age. He actually came in last in the initial vote after the vocal check in, with only 5 votes. He was in the Every Moment group, along with Bain and Seunghun from CIX. Unfortunately, I haven’t exactly loved his singing on the show so far. In my opinion, his voice is quite nasal, and he lacks both agility and breath control. Solar disagrees with me, though; she voted for him as Top Tier (everyone else voted for Seunghun). 

The song they’ve chosen is Universe by EXO. This may shock and amaze you, but I really like this song. What? ME? LIKE A SONG BY EXO? WHAT NEXT? 

Anyway yeah, it’s a great song. Sure, the lyrics are basically the same as those of most k-ballads -- I lost you but I’ll look for you forever, blah blah -- but the chords are complicated and interesting and there’s a drive and power to it that make it feel authentic. Plus they look like this:

Was there ever a more delightful concept than just “they’re dressed for fall and holding steamy mugs”? Sigh.

Anyway, I’d be scared to sing this song because the original was sung by some of the best vocalists in the world, but I really like Minwook, so let’s see what he can do!

Full version

Mostly, very nice, and since my ears can’t help but compare them to D.O. and Chen and Baekhyun and Suho and Xiumin and Chanyeol, for me to say they did well is a big compliment. I do think they were both a bit nervous. This is still really nice, but their soft notes were shaky for both of them. 

Intae did better than he did the other times I’ve heard him, and Minwook didn’t do quite as well as other times, so they ended up a balanced pair.

Intae, left, and Minwook, right.

Minwook starts off a bit shaky. His tone is very pretty, but he actually hits the wrong note at about the :27 mark in the Youtube version. If you haven’t listened to the song 1000 times like I have, you may not notice, but I noticed, and I feel like the judges might have noticed too. (I thought about it -- was that a purposeful change on his part? And all I can say is that if it was meant to be purposeful, it doesn’t SOUND it, so the effect is the same.) His belts on the chorus also seemed a little harsh and out of control. But his natural vocal color is really nice, and he has a nice way to him, where he’s not overacting or straining all the time. 

Intae was still a bit nasal for my taste, but less so than other times I’ve heard him. He also uses more vibrato than I prefer, but not all the time. He has a lot of power to his belts and 

Their harmonies sounded really great, even the ones I think they worked out on their own that weren’t in the original song. I think they were smart to drop the octave right after that one long note. 

In the brief glimpse we see of them in the actual show, they look great. We only get a tiny bit of commentary, and it’s from Solar, who gave them their high score of 96. It’s not clear who Solar is addressing, but she tells someone -- maybe both of them -- “you have a great voice, and your manner and style of singing is also good. I think it was even better because you created it together.” Again, Solar is the same one who voted for Jang Intae in a previous round. She just really likes him for some reason. Seungkwan gave them their low score of 78, but we don’t hear from him.

We get the final score, and it’s 543 to 589 in favor of Minwook and Intae. If you do the math and subtract out the high and low scores, the average score of the other five judges was 83 for Minwook and Intae, and it was 78.2 for Hyukjin and Inseong. 

Round ten! Ding Ding!

Next up is fan favorite and Boy’s Planet survivor, Lee Hwanhee of Up10tion, paired with soldier and Pixar character Jo Hwanji. Hwanji isn’t dressed as a soldier today; he and Hwanhee are both wearing leather jackets instead, and Hwanhee has decided to a 90s scene girl looking choker. They’re going up against Lim Sanghyun and Taewoo.  

Team Hwan-hee-ji has decided to sing Four Seasons, originally by Taeyeon of SNSD.  Here’s the Full version on Youtube.

My thoughts:

Ok, I’m not the biggest fan of jazzy singing, but this seems really nice. They seem to be enjoying what they're doing and it comes across kind of classy and cool. 

I think Hwanhee uses a tiny bit too much vibrato for my taste here, and he gets a tiny bit shrieky, but it feels like a stylistic choice. Hwanji’s voice is so clean and lovely except for his kind of painful shrieky high note at about 2:57 in to the Youtube version. Neither of them are nasal and both have good breath control and sense of pitch. They also brought bounce and interest into it with their facial expressions and dynamics.

They did a thing where they sang one line back and forth to each other, and it kind of makes sense when you know the lyrics are “We longed for each other / We got sick of each other.”  And their cute punchy harmony section right after that sounded great. 

The MNET edit is downright cruel. It makes it seem like they did that “trade lines back and forth” the whole time, but that was just one little part. The on screen captions say things like “the two voices do not sound in harmony.” Who writes these captions? What are you talking about? 

We find out that their high and low scores were 79 and 69 respectively. I don’t get what the judges are annoyed about. It just feels like they were tired and cranky here in tenth round, really. Because 79 high and 69 low feel punitive. Are you really saying that they were worse than Woong and Seokhwa?  Yeah, Hwanji had that one bad note, but come on. 

Wendy gave the high score of 79, but we don't get to hear from her. VCG, who gave the low score, says “I couldn’t hear the lyrics. ‘I’m good at this’, ‘this is how good I am,’ ‘This is how high I can go and I can sing a little jazzy,’” he says in a mocking tone. “I think it was a performance that only showed your skills.” 

Genuine question: Were they not supposed to show their skills? What were they supposed to show? I’m confused. If they hadn’t shown their skills, you would have said “I wanted to see your skills.” What was bad about showing their skills? What is bad about showing that they’re good at this? 

Also, I am far from fluent in Korean, but I could compare what they were singing to the lyrics I found online and I didn’t get lost along the way, so they were pronouncing it well enough for *me* to understand them. 

Hwanhee and Hwanji take their bad scores with grace. Hwanhee has been on dozens of these shows by now and is just like, sure, whatever. 

Next up is Lim Sanghyun and Taewoo. They both performed in the Beautiful group. I enjoyed Sanghyun’s soft, gruff tone, but couldn’t quite get behind Taewoo’s “YG” style with its sharp, nasal tone and swaggy affectations. 

They’re singing Downpour, the song I.O.I. used as its sort of “goodbye” before it disbanded. The lyrics mark it as a fairly standard k-ballad about a breakup, comparing the sadness of a breakup to a temporary downpour, but it has a lovely melody. Fun fact: It was co-written by Woozi of Seventeen!

Full version without reactions

My thoughts:

I still am not really on board with Taewoo’s style of singing, though I think it would have a time and place. It’s not that he’s a bad singer; it’s just that I don’t much like the manner of his singing. He does this little sigh thing at the end of each line that is very YG feeling and not something I like, and he is unpleasantly pitchy on his falsetto and shrill when he employs his mixed register. Note to note his voice can sound really different, and some of the ways it can sound is nice, but he’s affected and stylistic when I think his natural color might be his nicest voice.

Also, why don’t people open their eyes? What is this singing with your eyes closed thing so many of them do? And I’m aware, they probably don’t have completely closed eyes, but if that’s how it looks on camera, then… they should be aware of how it looks, right?

Sanghyun is still more my style. His voice is just so soft and pretty in a smoky kind of way. He does kind of drop off at the end of lines sometimes, but not all the time, so I won’t hold it against him or anything. Sometimes his voice reminds me a little of Baekhyun’s, so that’s a compliment, right? I really don’t have a lot to say just because it’s such a nice voice -- not nasal at all, not pitchy, good breath control. None of the bad things, all the good things.

I do actually think their voices sound nice next to each other, but I wish Sanghyun had a different partner. 

In the MNET edit, we see a few moments with the caption, “A stage with very different voices but good harmony.” They get a high of 100 and a low of 85, so it’s pretty clear that they’ve won. 

We can’t see which judge gave them which score, but I assume that Solar may have given out the 100. We get to see her saying, “When different people come together like this, a truly unique team will emerge. That’s what I felt watching the performance.”

The final score is 641 to 515, which is just… ouch. That means that Hwanhee and Hwanji got the second lowest score of the whole round. It was just unnecessarily harsh for no raisin.

If you take out the highest and lowest scores and find the average of the remaining scores, the other five judges gave Team Hwan-hee-ji an average score of 73.4, and gave Sanghyun and Taewoo an average score of 91.2.

Well, I’m so glad we spent so much time watching Geonu and Soomin make up a handshake, and watching Inhyuk and Joohee smack talk, and had instant replays and reactions drag things out the whole time, and wasted time with people wondering what the score would be just seconds before the score is actually shown, etc. 

Imagine if we’d used that time to watch the SINGING on a SINGING SHOW that would have been TOO MUCH SINGING FOR A SINGING SHOW PLEASE I only want to watch people MAKE UP HANDSHAKES AND SMACK TALK ON MY SINGING SHOW The word “SING” stands for “SMACKTALKING IS NOW GOOD” and “MUSIC” stands for “MAKING UP SHAKES IS CRUCIAL” I guess

Why do I watch these MNET shows?

Oh yeah, that’s why. 

Ok, I’m going to cut it off here for now, and my next post will be an Elimination Special! See you then!

XOXO

Sacrifice MV First Reactions

Lmao why didn’t I get my notification that this came out? Booo, YouTube.

Anyway, I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing that ENHYPEN’s bside MVs are so full of rich imagery that may or may not be related to the storyline. It honestly makes me a bit scared of them. At least they aren’t 20 minutes long like TXT’s bside MVs.

But that’s all okay, because this is a wonderful MV. It’s beautiful and it’s clearly both a HYBE and ENHYPEN MV. Also, most of the analysis in it seems very obvious - I feel like I’ve missed something, but at the same time it doesn’t quite seem like they’re being subtle. 

However, this one also has a sad lack of werewolves....

Anyway, full analysis below the line.

Lyrics

The song is very much the glorified and brooding pain of being a vampire - the thirst and starvation, suffocation, darkness, pain, etc. Very edgy. But in this case it’s okay, rather than cringe (I mean, it’s a little cringe), since it’s about vampires and the Gothic and stuff.

Speaking of - it is very Gothic. Although I did completely lose suspension of disbelief when they used the word ‘bae.’ Very weird.

The lyrics are generally reminiscent of codependent and toxic relationships - which is a topic that HYBE handle very well through lyrics, but which was done far better for TXT’s storyline than ENHYPEN’s - since, you know, TXT actually had a buildup to it. 

This in no way diminishes the representation given to ENHYPEN - it’s just that ENHYPEN’s is good and TXT’s is 110000/10. 

Anyway, I like vampires, so I like this.

MV

NGL this shot just confuses me - since they’re not supposed to have reflections. They literally didn’t have reflections in Bite Me - although that may have been less about reflections and more about teleporting. 

Okay, I will accept this, since I’m relatively certain they have had reflections before. Perhaps it is a remnant of either their human past.

I do like the desert setting and I do like how it has the combination of red sand, clear water, and plants. Big on the subversion of expectations. 

Dying is a theme of the song, album, and concept, but I find it kind of funny how many times people fall over or cringe in pain in this MV.

The first time I saw these black things I thought they were fish. But it turns out that they’re crystals/feathers covered in blood or ink/blackened hearts. I love any and all of these options.

Mmmmm  yess the lighting. And the circular room which reminds us of previous songs/MVs and especially ‘Bite Me’- but here it is a cage.

Bruv y u sideways?

Also, looks like the set Jungwon and Sunghoon were in in Bite Me - funny, since now it has a reflective table surface rather than a chessboard, and since Jake wasn’t in that scene. 

Sorry, this one just reminds me of Jungkook in Blood Sweat and Tears. Admittedly, it does also remind me of Heeseung in Blessed-Cursed when he was stuck in that space full of dust. 

Anyway, loving the lighting and the colour in the shot. The fabric and cool tones make it almost seem like it’s underwater - it creates both a sense of magic and abandonment. Very creepy, very Gothic, loving it. No clue what it’s meaning though, other than the obvious references to prison/entrapment, death, sacrifice, and possibly desire (from the link to Blood Sweat and Tears).

Love these shots of Jay struggling - it relates to the lyrics and the theme. And throughout the MV more of the scene and context are revealed which creates a lot of meaning - very fun.

Obvious heaven, paradise, and angel/vampire duality references. I find it interesting, however, that Sunoo is the one they chose to portray as angellic/a fallen angel. He’s the only one who was portrayed in this way so consistently, which is just interesting. Niki and Jake had wing moments, but only once each. 

Angel wings and red (either blood, or the fruit of knowledge (desire)).

I love the dragging choreo but it’s only convincing me more and more that HYBE recycled TXT things for this ENHYPEN comeback... 

Yas you get those wings Sunoo. Use them to murder the werewolves.

I like how the feathers falling is so fast - it gets the idea of pain and loss across, since it is coloured red and black, and since it is fast, thus violent, and then leads into another shot of Jay suffering. 

It was a really interesting choice to put Jay upside down here - also an interesting choice to have the particles going upwards. Anyway, we’ll discuss this more later.

Heart crystal? That’s very weird, my dude.

But I do love the duality of Jay both up above and in cool, bright colours, vs below in dark warm colours. It makes us think that perhaps there are two of him on different sides of some line/battle. Idk if they did this on purpose, but knowing HYBE and filmmakers in general, they most likely did. 

I also like how the heart thing that blue Jay holds could be considered the rotten soul of red Jay. 

And this is the payoff for the previous Jay context clues! And for our intelligence as an audience. I love this shot because it is the one that gives context to everything we have seen so far. Here is Jay’s ideal self - bathed in light, at the gates to heaven, and fascinated by the dark soul of his damned self. And here we have the other Jay - probably the real/current one - a vampire, and in desperate need of saving. He’s in immense pain and struggles to reach his goals, but the light of heaven pushes his soul back down. 

Also, fyi that the trees and set in general remind me of BTS and TXT’s storylines - is this the moment they decide to connect ENHYPEN to it too? Or are they just reusing their ideas and resources.

These plants in HYBE storylines are usually a representation of Magic Island, or of a dream state. So do with that what you will. 

Dang dude, why’d you take it off?

Reminds me of Jungkook 2.0. 

Also is that holy water?

Ew it’s alive!

Also looks like it might be corrupting them, as opposed to being the corrupted part of them? The difference between those two is... very blurry. 

That’s right, you purge it from your life. 

Alright Heeseung, I guess you chuck it then. 

Lighttttttttiiiiiiiiiiing.

Bruv what is that? An egg? Your angelic soul?

VAMPIRE NECK.

VAMPIRE BANQUETS.

And of course similarities to Bite Me.

They legit probably filmed these on the same day. 

Why is Niki so edgy this comeback? Niki I challenge you to a fencing bout.

10/10 shot, the tilt is a great way to make us scared.

Vampires, shadows, consumption, blood drinking, entrapment - 10/10.

It was at this point that I realised I was only about halfway through the MV. Whoops... Well, at least this comeback has been much more interesting than Pass The Mic.

11/10 choreo in general and especially this part - I love the motif of being controlled. 

More falling. Rip Jungwon. 

Yes you reach for that light of heaven.

Also love how the cage is kind of made up of windows and doors - they are meant to be traveled through and seen through, but we can’t travel through them or see through them. 

If I was Heeseung i would have felt so cool shooting this. 

Epic set, epic lighting, epic outfit which kind of looks like wings from above but off enough to make is know that they are something very different.

Okay I have been proven well and truly wrong about the reflections. 

Anyway, looks like he’s having a midlife vampire crisis. And how do things just keep appearing in this sell? Is that another vampire thing?

Here you can clearly see the grimey glass of the window, which is a TEN OUT OF TEN lighting prop, especially with the fog. I used it in my short film and it is so fun to work with. 

2 questions - why is it rippling, and why is Sunghoon here? Is he like Heeseung’s alter ego? Will the glass merge or do something funky like in the Matrix?

CHOREOGRAPHY.

There is something incredibly creepy about sweet Sunoo caressing his broken wing with blackened and corrupted feathers around him. And that is 100% how the Director and staff intended it. This is my kind of horror. 

Somehow I don’t think Sunoo’s heart looks like this but okay.

Wonderfully religious. Reminds me of Death Note’s opening for some reason. 

CHOREOGRAPHYYYYYYYY. I know I have criticised them using a lot of TXT stuff in this comeback, but if I was a member of either of those groups I would be so hyped to get choreographies because all of their choreos have been 10/10 epic ones. 

It’s reminiscent of the sets from ‘Bite Me’and also looks like an upside down pyramid - are they in the Illuminati?

Idk if touching the water is a good idea, my guy.

A weirdly demure scene in the midst of this horror. 

LIGHTING. PUPPET. IT’S LITERALLY FAKE LOVE.

But bruv why is it Niki? Are they all in this cage?

Ink blood is my favourite horror/supernatural thing. Not really, but it’s up there. 

Can we get a rip Niki.

Also interesting that he has this wing below him - when so far Sunoo is the only one with the wings. Maknae things? (ahem, Kai, ahem).

And Jake gives up his wings to... worship the corrupted heart? Whatever works for you, man. 

YESSSSSSSS THIS IS THE VAMPIRE STUFF I SIGNED UP FOR. BRING BACK GIVEN-TAKEN.

Well good on them for solving whatever problems they had.

Or this second picture could be a flashback...

Or maybe I’m too obsessed with the non-linear....

Mirroring them looking at the girl in Drunk-Dazed - a juxtaposition of heaven and hell?

Conclusions

This is the vampire content I signed up for. Bite Me has grown on me massively, but this is still 10/10 a better MV and choreo. I love the female backup dancers, but I’d love them more if they were doing this choreo. 

Now I’ve made myself sound like a Bite Me hater. I swear I ain’t. I’m a people-who-sexualise-Niki hater. 

Stan the backup dancers, people. Stan the vampires and their wings. 

I don’t have anything else to say - my brain short circuited because I loved it so much and it made my creepy-vampire lover brain go feral. 

[cirqosmos]

LMAO I DIDNT EXPECT SACRIFICE MV TO RELEASE AFTER A DAY THEY RELEASED THE TEASER BUT IM NOT EVEN COMPLAINING CUZ IM SO GLAD IT DIDNT TOOK ANOTHER MONTH!! That's why I was wondering why there's no date in the teaser- bruh 😭😭😭 lmfao I even watched a reaction video for the teaser, and the man says that tomorrow is his birthday (which is today) oh lord lol he must be so happy rn

sacrifice omg 😭😭 i freaking love the choreo- Sunghoon?? And jay?? why is this giving me a dozen more story ideas again.. someone suck out the creativity out of my brain please. the red themes I love r mostly nonexistent here haha but the fallen angel theme are really pretty asf. plus the cinematic shot in sacrifice that I've been dying to see SM, which barely exists in bite me mv. also Jake with that wings?? ig since the black heart fell down from heaven, he flew down to earth/hell to get it back that's why the tips of his wings are drenched in black (ink)? that's why = fallen angel

but omg Heeseung and jungwon <333 NIKI WITH THAT SOLO DANCE THO?? And sunoo is rlly an angel wtf 😭😭😭 but I'd have to say Jay caught my heart in this MV 😟😟💘💘

I'll say it again lol, there are more efforts put into sacrifice MV more than bite me mv. it's so obvious like so obvious oh my god. but i think it's inevitable since the one that directs bite me mv is a western director or what?? ugh sacrifice won my heart, song + MV = chefs kiss ✨✨✨

the choreo is making me feel things... The hand choreo reminds me of blood sweat and tears hand part (statue) idk it has been awhile since I watched it. but if not, then it reminds me of closing your eyes, ears and mouth. Ugh- sacrifice >>>>>>>>>>>>> Heeseung be looking hot- aight gotta stop simping and back to writing route 1

JAY LOOKS SO GOOF INTGEY NEW MV THIS IS A LIVE REACTION FOMGSH

[mirisss]

Enhypen poly reaction to "The new Kard"

Pairing: Enhypen OT6 (not including Niki because he’s a minor) x idol! (Y/n)

Wordcount ≈ 600

Warning: Kard’s song Cake is referenced (quite a sexual song & choreo), some sexual innuendo, mdni, nothing explicit,  

Summary: In a world where the Kard we know today doesn’t exist, instead a new Kard is created. “The new Kard” = (Y/n) - 02 liner dating Enhypen, Keeho (P1harmony), Ricky (ZB1), & Yunjin (Lesserafim). So how will Enhypen react to their beloved girlfriend’s debut? 

Authors note: Thank you for the request! This was such a fun idea, I’m not an expert when it comes to Kard but I listen to their music every now and then. It’s sort of short but it’s mostly because it’s a reaction fic. Not my best work, but I hope you still enjoy it. 

Request by 🍮 - anon

Please reblog! 

Third person POV

(Y/n) participated in I-Land with the Enhypen boys where they all fell in love and entered a poly relationship, though unfortunately, (Y/n) did not debut with the boys. Instead (Y/n) had to wait another 2 years until she got to debut, her debut group was one-of-a-kind as it was a four-member co-ed group consisting of Yoon Keeho, Huh Yunjin, (L/n) (Y/n), and Shěn Ricky. 

Enhypen was waiting for the MV for (Y/n)’s debut song to drop. They couldn't wait to see the choreo or hear the song as (Y/n) had told them, they would be very surprised. The members were counting down the seconds to see the MV, just the same as a lot of pre-debut fans were. Enhypen had gotten permission from HYBE to stream their reaction to the MV as it was well known that Enhypen and The New Kard were good friends, the relationship between Enhypen and (Y/n) hadn’t been released yet but the fans knew the two groups were good friends. 

“3, 2, 1! It’s out!!! LET’S GO!!!” Jake screamed as the other five boys laughed. Jake clicked on the now-posted MV for “Cake” by The New Kard, they were very intrigued by the name ‘Cake’. (For reference here, check out Cake by Kard). Throughout the entire MV, the Enhypen boys kept shouting “OH! WAH! Holy!” And things alike it. The fans watching the stream were freaking out over Enhypen’s reactions as the boys seemed to be speechless but also a little turned on by the way they were blushing and watching one of the Kard members. The fans couldn’t tell if it was Yunjin or (Y/n) they were so focused on. 

Once the MV was over, the Enhypen boys were blushing and giggling like crazy. “Wah, that was, wow,” Was all Jay managed to say. A few minutes later they ended the live and called (Y/n), asking her to come over. 

* When (Y/n) arrives at Enhypen’s dorm * 

“Hey guys,” “Hey, baby,” Heesung said as he gave (Y/n) a hug the second she stepped inside. (Y/n) noticed the looks the boys had in their eyes, it was playful. “Come on, come inside,” Sunoo said giving her his signature innocent smile that she loved, though the look in his eyes told a very different story to his smile. “What’s up with you guys?” “Hmm, (Y/n), why don’t you show us the choreo to Cake? We want to see it live,” Sunghoon whispered in her ear, causing chills to run down her back. “Please, baby? It looked so good in the MV, I bet it looks much better in real life,” Jungwon said before kissing her cheek. “Of course,” If anyone else had asked, (Y/n) would never have done it but now it was her dear boyfriends and she too felt very excited by their reaction. 

Not my gifs - but this is pretty much how I imagine their reactions

[seattlesolace]

just read your deserved better and oh my god either I'm dumb or you did it a great job with the plot twist because I wasn't expecting the ending even though I was having a few questions while reading like how tf was heeseung okay with yn having a male roommate and ohmygod,, after reading and taking a few moments to register it, I scrolled up and saw the header properly and then I read the fic again and the signs were there but oh my god I loved it so much???

first of all hi, and thank you! did you get a chance to watch the MV I linked in the author's note? your reaction is exactly the same as mine when I watched that MV, so honestly, all credits go there.

however in the MV I feel like it was easier to portray since everything is visual, and it was only 2-3 minutes long, so I did have quite a hard time putting it all into written format.

love that you went back to the header and also reread it 😄 the signs really were there, huh? like how Jay speaks but yn never answers

anyway thank you for dropping by the ask box! appreciate a lot and thank you for reading 💖
